umbro Wrote:Hmm, there does seem to be a good point here.
The Polish rifle platoon and the cavalry troop seem to have almost identical weaponry and there are 4 more guys in the troop than the platoon, but their effectivenesses are 8-4-2 vs 6-3-1.
The only difference is that the rifle platoon also had a 46mm mtr attached. Assessing the mortar as 25% of the firepower of the platoon at short range seems to be overkill. However, that would likely result in the cavalry platoon being 7-3-1.
As for them being elite, this would be reflected in their morale rather than their firepower. Morale 7 or 8 would reflect their "elite" rating.

Umbro,
Thanks for the response. I agree with you on the "elite" status being reflected in their morale. I don't know the max effective range of the 46mm mortar, but how about 7-4-2 for the Polish cavalry troops' attack values? Finally, what do you think about the universal cavalry values of 3 and 4 in JTCS (except for the Japanese cavalry, I believe) for assault and defense, respectively? I tend to see the assault value as being accurate, given that cavalry were generally looked upon is a scouting role, rather than a close-combat role. The defense value, however, should be closer to that of a standard rifle platoon, IMHO.
